Bug Description

If the pointer is moved over an button that is currently disabled ("grayed out") and then that button is made active (by enternal event, such as the completion of a DHCP request) then it is not possible to "click" the button without moving off the icon and then back over it again.

Very likely this is because something is hooking 'onmouseover' and this when the button goes from disabled->enabled as the pointer is already within the bounding box ('onmouseover' event occured earlier, whilst the button was disabled).

Reproduce:

 1. System->Preferences->Networking
 2. Select an interface.
 3. Click [Deactive]
 4. Click [Active]
 5. Whilst the activity bar is appearing, move the mouse pointer to the OK button in the parent window, see:
  http://www.paul.sladen.org/ubuntu/bugs/g-c-c-network-ok-not-enabled.png
 6. When the button becomes active, try to click it, this will not work.

This issue could be GTK-wide, or it could be the way that the just the Networking Panel is enabling the button.

Thanks for the bug report. 'network-admin' is part of gnome-system-tools, but I remember this to be a GTK issue. I'll try to find the other bug.
